Wouldn’t it be great if…
You could be the first in your crew to discover that great new taco joint, get to know the owners, and be recognized as a regular?
Hello, Backyard.
Use Discover Mode to tell us what you’re in the mood for – pizza, espresso, a lash lift! – we’ll do the rest. Get the information you need (photos, hours, and location), then read the owner’s origin story.
Best of all: chat neighbor-to-neighbor with local business owners and build credibility in the community.
Who’s participating?
Why should I care?
Great for you.
When you use Backyard to find your crew’s new go-to, you’ll be a neighborhood hero. Plus, owners that recognize you from Backyard can hook you up with deals.
It pays to be a regular!
Great for local businesses.
Chatting and heart-ing a small business’s Backyard page is a big encouragement to the owner. Running a business is hard work, and business owners could use a little love these days.
Sending a dollar or two as an offline tip through Backyard is another great way to show your appreciation.
Good for the neighborhood.
As humans, we’re at our best when we have personal connections to our community. We feel better, behave better, and just plain have more fun living where we do. Let’s get out there and connect with our lovely, talented neighbors!
